Timeline

  1. 10:00

    Veteran Arena

    Start at the Veteran Arena. The museum opens at 10:00 in April, so you will be among the first visitors. Browse the collection of well-preserved Tatra, Praga, and Škoda vehicles before the midday rush.

  2. 11:00

    Restaurace u mlýna

    Walk 13 minutes to Restaurace u mlýna for lunch. This regional restaurant serves local dishes and is open from 11:00 on weekdays. Arriving just before 11:00 ensures you get a table before the afternoon crowd.

  3. 12:00

    Botanic Gardens

    Head 27 minutes southwest to the Botanic Gardens. The outdoor exhibits and rose gardens offer a peaceful contrast to the industrial history you just saw. It is a quiet spot for a late spring walk.

Local tip

The Veteran Arena is closed on Mondays. If you are visiting on a Monday, check the route for alternative transport or consider shifting your visit to Tuesday.
